I don't see a rule that says you can disable a robot if you feel like it.
There are 6 ways a robot can get disabled.
1. "ROBOTS whose operation or design is unsafe are not permitted.
Violation: FOUL & DISABLED. If the issue is due to design: Re-Inspection."
Not this. It wasn't unsafe, and if it was a G3, there would have been fouls on both sides.
2. G4. Placing robots on field. It's not this either.
3. G6. Delayed start of match. I don't think so.
4. G10. Deals only with field elements.
5. G20. Bumper rules. Bumpers were totally fine and in the bumper zone (measured with respect to normal robot orientation).
6. G21. Extend outside field. 2056 did this plenty (with no fouls), but never contacted anything, so no disable. Not this.
What's frustrating to me is that my buddy said they never explained who got the first foul and they never explained the second foul at all.
